Afghanistan's attempts to gain more ODI fixtures leading into the September 2017 cut-off for the 2019 World Cup qualification is likely to gather steam with a proposal in the works to secure annual bilateral matches against India and teams touring India, beginning next year.

ACB chief executive Shafiq Stanikzai noted that by signing the MOU the Afghanistan Cricket Board will be in a better position to schedule ODIs with India and teams traveling to India on an annual basis.

Stanikzai said the draft had been presented to BCCI president Anurag Thakur in May.
